A lot of people hate on this series, but I love the lightheartedness and found family. Like the stakes are high but I’m never stressed out yk??

What’s everyone’s philosophies about DNFing? I have to admit it’s something I’ve found really difficult. Even if I’m not interested at all in the book and find it a slog or I’m just not connecting to the material, I feel this immense guilt about not ever picking it up again. I’d rather not read at all than not finish. The one time I’ve DNFed a book with almost no intention of ever picking it up again was Passage by Connie Willis, and it still took me half the book to tell myself I’d made enough of an effort to justify stopping.

I’ve tried liking audiobooks but it’s very hard for me to retain anything just from listening to the audiobook. I tried immersive reading (listening to an audiobook and following along with the book) but i find myself reading faster than the narrator 🥲 do you guys have any tips to make it any easier?

Are there any characters that you read about growing up that you’d like to see now in an adult novel, following up on their life? For example, how it’s been done with the Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry series by Mildred D. Taylor or the Anne of Green Gables series

Personally, I loved 11 Birthdays by Wendy Mass as a kid and always wonder what happened to the gang of characters when they became adults

The last time I’ve asked a question here I got amazing recs.

Unfortunately I am in a big reading slump. Too many choices, and nothing fits at the moment.

The last book I read: only one left by Riley sagar.

Books that I paused, that list is embarrassingly long. But: the secret society of irregular witches, home before dark, filthy rich vampires (just haven’t been feeling any dark romances lately) and the woman in the window, the pumpkin spice cafe. There are more but these are just in the last month)

I read a couple of pages of a book and not feeling it and then I put it down again.

Any easy, not too long reads would be amazing, or maybe something I can submerge myself in. I like fantasy, thrillers, cozy romances but not too cheesy and I also like non fiction. (Maybe nothing too heavy right now) ANY recs are welcome 🙏💙

P.S. English is not my first language so sorry for any spelling errors.

P.P.S. The rest of my life is going good so nothing to worry about (I see you empaths)

Doing the 75 Booked challenge that’s viral on TikTok!! It’s been so fun that I just wanted to spread the word on here about it too! The rules are for 75 days:

• 2 45 minute reading sessions (1 can’t be in bed) -finish one water bottle ea. session
• track my progress daily
• NO buying books

very vague post title, i apologize, but my question here really is just: manga??

what do we all think about including manga/comics towards a reading goal? i just started reading chainsaw man (my first manga!) and while i will be counting it towards my reading goal either way, just wondering what everyone thinks in terms of counting it as a full book.

also, this is not to shame anyone that reads manga at all!! & don’t be weird in the comments (though i trust you all not to be <3) just genuinely very curious as it’s not a traditional book :)

Listen I’ve always defended this book series because I think sometimes you just need silly books!! however I realised I don’t remember anything from the first books and after reading through some summaries… I still don’t understand a thing because so much happened 🧍🏼‍♀️I‘m just hoping I’ll get used to wherever we are in the story quickly 🫡
